Randy Lewis of the Los Angeles Times Violet Brown, urban music buyer for Wherehouse Entertainment, who says Tupac Shakur’s new album ‘Better Dayz’, thanks to collaborations with Tyrese, Outlawz, Trick Daddy, Nas and Mya allow the posthumous rap legend to stay current. Brown says the tracks “sound like they were recorded yesterday.” She added, “These tracks are not dated at all, and what he’s rapping about is very current. The lyrics are very intense — he’s rapping a lot about life and death.”
